At least 36 people have died in a head-on collision between a lorry and a Nairobi-bound bus on a notoriously dangerous road near Migaa in Kenya.<\/p>\n
Local officials said the accident happened at 03:00 (0:00 GMT), and the bus was speeding and in the wrong lane.<\/p>\n
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has ranked Kenya as one of the world’s worst countries for road safety.<\/p>\n
Police believe over 100 people have died in the same area on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
The bus was reportedly carrying 46 passengers to Nairobi from the western town of Busia when the accident happened.<\/p>\n
“I was asleep when the accident occurred and all I heard was a loud bang and screams from all over before I was helped out,”\u00a0a passenger who survived the crash told a local radio station.<\/p>\n
